About Round the World Fare Itineraries

To be eligible for a Round the World fare, your itinerary:

Must include only one transatlantic and transpacific crossing.

Must start and end in the same country, although not necessarily in the same city.

Must last at least 10 days (7 days for customers commencing travel in Australia) between the first and the last international flight segment.

May include only one crossing between Europe, Africa/Middle East and Asia.

Aeroplan Miles

As with most eligible flights operated by a Star Alliance member, you can earn Aeroplan Miles, which count towards Air Canada Altitude Status. As always, you can redeem your miles towards a wide range of Aeroplan Rewards.

Mileage accumulation is subject to both the booking class and the rules of the Star Alliance carrier operating the flight. To learn more about mileage accumulation, visit aeroplan.com Opens in New Window.

Saving your Itinerary

There's no need to rush when you use Book and Fly. If you need more time to review your itinerary, you're not quite ready to confirm your trip just yet, or you'd like to consult your travel agent first, you can still take advantage of Book and Fly. Simply build your itinerary with your preferred flights, then print it for your records or save it and retrieve it later on using your Itinerary Reference Number to purchase your ticket.

Keep in mind that saving your itinerary with Book and Fly does not reserve space on the selected flights – it simply maintains a record of your preferred flight options.
